The Women’s March on Seattle (also written as Womxn’s March) was held on Saturday, January 21, 2017. The march was held in solidarity with the Women’s March on Washington D.C., which occurred on the same day. More than 120,000 people participated in the Seattle march, which began at Judkins Park and ended at Seattle Center. The Women’s March is believed to be the largest political march in Seattle’s history (Katherine Long, “Record Seattle crowd asserts women’s rights”, Seattle Times, January 21, 2017).

On January 21, 2017, more than one million men, women, and children across the United States, and around the world, marched in solidarity with the Women’s March on Washington D.C. The marches were held on the day after the inauguration of U.S. President Donald J. Trump, and were framed as a statement of opposition to the views and ideas put forward by President Trump.
